CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.42
This Credit Facility Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated as of January 19, 2021 between ReShape Lifesciences Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Lender”).
A. Borrower has requested that Lender make available to Borrower a line of credit (the “LOC”) in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of up to $15,000,000.
B. Borrower and Lender are also party to a Credit Agreement dated March 25, 2020, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated March 25, 2020 (the “Security Agreement”).
C. Borrower and Lender both desire to memorialize the LOC pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Credit Facility.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to extend a LOC of up to $15,000,000 (the “Advances”) to Borrower from time to time from the date hereof until December 31, 2022. All Advances shall be made pursuant the terms and obligations set forth in a promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”). Borrower shall provide Lender with a reasonably detailed explanation of the principal purposes for which the proceeds from any requested Advances are intended to be used and the approximate amount intended to be used for each such purpose and, upon receipt of such explanation, Lender shall authorize and approve such Advance, which authorization and approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(b) At any time after the initial Advance, if any, under this Agreement, Lender will be entitled to appoint a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Borrower or, if Lender exercises such right after the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below), a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Obalon, which will then be Borrower’s parent company, in each case subject to and in accordance with Borrower’s or, if applicable, Obalon’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640), and any other applicable laws, rules and regulations. Lender may exercise such right by providing written notice to Borrower. Following Borrower’s receipt of such notice from Lender, Borrower will reasonably cooperate with Lender in order to cause Lender’s designated nominees, who must be reasonably acceptable to and approved by Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to be appointed to the Board of Directors of Borrower or, if applicable, Obalon, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(c) For the purposes of the Advances, subject to the limitations, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Note, Borrower may, from time to time, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to Lender of the amount to be requested to be drawn down.
(d) In order to secure Borrower’s performance under the Note, Borrower agrees that the amount of any Advances under the LOC will be subject to, and considered Secured Obligations under, the Security Agreement.

(e) Borrower shall give written notice or telephonic notice (followed promptly by written confirmation thereof) to Lender of each proposed borrowing of an Advance not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time at least three business days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by Lender, shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the date and amount of such borrowing. Not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of a proposed Advance, Lender shall pay over the requested Advance to Borrower on the requested borrowing date. Each borrowing shall be on a business day. The minimum amount of any Advance shall be $500,000 and the maximum amount of any Advance shall be $1,250,000 (or if less, the remaining undrawn amount of the LOC). After the date of the initial Advance, if any, under the LOC, any subsequent Advance shall not be made sooner than 30 days after the date of any previous Advance without Lender’s prior written consent.
(f) This Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement, together with all of the other agreements, documents, and instruments heretofore or hereafter executed in connection therewith or with the Advances to be made under this Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”
Section 2. Interest; Maturity Date and Events of Default.
2.1. Interest. Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance for the period commencing on the date of such Advance until such Advance is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; provided, that at any time an Event of Default exists, if elected by Lender, the interest rate corresponding to each Advance shall be increased by two percentage points per annum effective as of the date upon which such Event of Default (as defined below) first occurred or such later date determined Lender in writing. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days.
2.2. Maturity Date. All Advances shall be due on December 31, 2023.
2.3. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) Borrower shall be deemed to be in default hereunder:
(a) failure by Borrower to pay when due any of the principal or accrued and unpaid interest of any Advance outstanding under any Note; or
(b) Borrower (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of itself or any part of its property, (ii) becomes subject to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of itself or any part of its property if such appointment is not terminated or dismissed within thirty (30) days, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, (v) institutes any proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other similar law affecting the rights of creditors generally, or files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors to take advantage of any insolvency law, or files an answer admitting the material allegations of a bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency petition filed against it, or (vi) becomes subject to any proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other similar law affecting the rights of creditors generally, which proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of filing, or has an order for relief entered against it in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
If an Event of Default occurs, the amount of any Advance, including the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, under any Note shall become immediately due and payable, and Borrower, upon the written request of Lender, shall immediately pay to Lender all such amounts. Lender shall, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, also have any other rights which Lender may have pursuant to applicable law.
